    Hi ,
    Am new on here .
    My husband is 62 and has just been diagnosed with Myeloma! To say i am scared , is a bit of an understatement. He has had a “ bad back “ for about 3 months and slowly been struggling with pain in his ribs , he can no longer sleep on right side and has constant discomfort and now awful pain in his back and ribcage . We got the diagnosis on tuesday 18th jan and he was then given a bone marrow test and also ecg . His calcium levels were high so he was given a 15 min infusion to help his body deal with extra calcium? Plus 4 days on dextramethasome We have not yet had any mri scan , ct scan is booked for this week. Today i have had to call an ambulance to have my husband taken into A&E as he could no longer cope with the pain ( pain relief was 50mg tramidol and paracetamol) 4 x daily . He was coping quite ok but suddenly things have changed , couldnt sit, stand , walk without crying out in severe pain, difficulty in sleeping etc . I am scared! Is this normal ? I believe Starfish also experienced a similar situation any tips or hints i would grateful
    Many thanks
